Astrid y Gastón

Contemporary Peruvian · Lima · San Isidro · Chef Gastón Acurio

Astrid y Gastón is the restaurant that changed the history of Peruvian cooking. Founded by Gastón Acurio — recipient of the World's 50 Best Lifetime Achievement Award 2018 — and pastry chef Astrid Gutsche in 1994, it was the restaurant that first proposed Peruvian cuisine as world gastronomy. Located in a magnificent colonial casa in San Isidro since 2014, the restaurant's tasting menu 'Lima of All Bloods' (a reference to the novel by José María Arguedas) maps Peru's multicultural culinary heritage: indigenous, Spanish colonial, African, Japanese, Chinese, Italian, and contemporary.

Menu

Cocktails

  • Pisco Sour — Acurio's Signature Version, Angostura Traditions (38) — Gastón Acurio's pisco sour: Quebranta grape pisco (the most important Peruvian variety, earthy and robust), fresh lime juice, egg white, simple syrup, and Angostura bitters — made to exactly the ratio that Acurio has served since the restaurant's founding. The pisco sour is simultaneously Peru's national pride and its greatest culinary ambassador; Acurio's version is understood as a reference point for the cocktail.
